The Spirit World

Chapter 713 Are You a Child Too?

[Note: In real life, Locke has a prototype and died of old age. His novel name is Locke. However, Chang Yufeng has no prototype. Chang Yufeng is a character in the novel and does not exist.]

[Because the real world still has too much violence, pornography, gamblers, drug addicts, wars, indifference, and even countless lies, so I will not force the grand ideal of saving everyone on a child. ]

[In this world, most great people just came. They brought ideals and hopes to change the world, but they didn’t change the world at all. They were defeated by time and lifespan.]

[In this world, most great men run with hope and spread it to the world. When everyone understands his ideas, they will awaken. Once awakened, they will become great men and will truly be remembered for eternity, and will not be defeated by time.]

【Fur spell.】

[It’s just that I’m afraid that people will be defeated by time. ]

The bright lights matched the night sky, shrouding the entire Longxing Building in light.

In the inner hall of Longxing Club, almost all the important people gathered around a table. The leader was Shaw, the eldest son of the Theatus family, who looked rather solemn. Next to him was Freddy, the eldest son of the Louis family, whose expression changed from time to time. His main target was the little girl Lin, who was sitting opposite him. On his right was another little boy, Chang Yufeng. Directly opposite Chang Yufeng was also Lin'er, and in front of Lin'er stood a guy that no one wanted to look at, Locke. He stood next to Lilimaren, the second daughter of the Carolingian family, and he should have come to toast and chat, and by the way, let the four major families know something that was set in stone.

Lin, a member of the Longxing Society and Locke's youngest daughter, will defeat all opponents from all families, big and small, at the Dragon Conference in a month, win first place in the swordsman group, and arrive in Fran with the reputation of the Longxing Society.

"This little brother, what you just said is really shocking." Luo Ken hooked his hand on the wine glass and slowly mixed the wine. He naturally had an impression of Chang Yufeng. He didn't know how Chang Yufeng escaped, and he didn't care: "You want to be the first, and you want to be the best in the world. What a great ambition."

Locke's mockery was evident in his words.

"Without ambition, how can you avoid imprisonment?"

Chang Yufeng held his soup spoon tightly and didn't look at anyone.

He looked at the sake at his hand, burning and red, like a fire spreading over a golden mountain, getting more and more intense.

"Heroes have always emerged from youth." Freddy sensed something strange. The word "prison" made his ears move twice, and his elf ears were exposed to everyone: "With such ambitions, I believe that you, old man Locke, also hope so..."

He glanced at Locke, who smiled heartily and wanted to move forward, but could only take a light step on the spot and said, "Heroes are born young since ancient times. This kid has such great ambitions, and he will definitely be my Lin. It would be best if he could be a sparring partner. As the saying goes, without an opponent, one would be as lonely as the snow."

"But ambition alone is not enough." Locke stopped smiling and placed his glass on the table. A servant came over and filled his glass: "On the field, the one who shouts the loudest will not win."

"Don't you think so, Lin?"

Locke put his hand on Lin'er's head and rubbed it hard, as if he was stroking an obedient dog.

Lin'er said nothing and did nothing. She looked at Chang Yufeng's profile. Chang Yufeng was as calm as water and did not show any expression.

He is either indifferent or passionate.

The half-empty bowl of soup was stirred gently with the spoon.

"I will beat all my opponents on the field."

Chang Yufeng's voice was too soft, but everyone could hear it clearly.

Lilimaren, no, almost everyone here could see that this child was different, and they also understood that he might have some conflict with Locke.

However, this was not something that could be exposed in person, so the three of them looked at each other and started eating in silence. Those exquisite dishes were too ordinary for them, so they did not pick and choose, and ate whatever was at hand.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and they didn't seem to want to get involved.

Locke was the daughter that the three of them had recognized for the Dragon Tournament. Lin, the first place winner of the Swordsman Group of the Dragon Tournament, was Lin. This girl with strong magical power was about to be finalized, and it was a "fact that was set in stone."

The Dragon Assembly is a competition among peers. They have no say and no other options. They cannot speak in favor of anyone overtly.

This is not a simple Dragon Outing Competition. Their identities do not allow them to be too extreme, and naturally they should not say anything. Shaw's brother will also participate in this Dragon Outing Competition, but he will not say on behalf of Hall in front of Locke that Hall will definitely win the first place in the swordsman group. Of course, he hopes that Hall can do it, and that Hall can win by strength in the Dragon Outing Competition, but he cannot say in front of Locke that Hall will definitely win.

Xiao Er ordered the dishes without saying anything, nor did he look up.

Lilimaren was sitting in her seat. She could feel the pressure from Locke's aura. It was not a pleasant feeling. She still sided with Chang Yufeng, but she didn't know what to say.

He knew that Jack was different from others. From what he had just said, he could also tell that he did have enough courage. It took a lot of courage to say this again and again.

You can say, I want to be number one, I want to be number one among two people, I want to be number one among ten people, I want to be number one among a hundred people, but you will never think that I want... to be number one among a thousand people, among ten thousand people, among tens of millions of people, among people in the whole world!

Maybe this child does not understand what the concept of being the best in the world means. For example, what does it mean to be the best among millions of people?

This statement is somewhat conceited, even bragging.

It came from the mouth of a little child, and perhaps no one would believe it.

Children speak without restraint.

There was no need for him to say it in a place like this, because there was naturally a strong candidate here who wanted to win the first place in the Dragon Conference.

"Lin, someone said that we have to defeat all the opponents in the Dragon Conference." Loken put his hand on Lin'er's head and pressed it hard: "Do you think this is possible?"

Locke was forcing Lin'er to express her opinion. Lin'er's head was being pressed down. To outsiders, it looked like a normal pat on the head, but it was actually a threat. Lin'er, who was being held down, looked indifferently at Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng also glanced at her.

"That's impossible." Lin'er said this. Chang Yufeng gritted his teeth, and his teeth chattered, but he had no way to refute her.

She was really too calm, just like Chang Yufeng, so calm that it was frightening. Even though they didn't make any eye contact, their relationship was as calm as if the blades of a knife were facing each other.

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Freddy put the wine glass on the table, moved it next to Shor, and said this in a serious tone.

"I like tit-for-tat competitions the most. Although I can't see the difference in strength between your peers, if two boys and girls want to compete for the first place, they will definitely be full of fighting spirit. If they can fight in the duel arena, it will definitely be packed."

Freddy smiled widely, which made Shaw and Lili Marlene strangely quiet.

"I'm not kidding, I'm going to be number one."

Chang Yufeng finally looked at Lin'er.

Lin'er looked at his calm eyes without any change in emotion.

They were threatened by others, but they all reached a tacit understanding.

"I will also defeat you and take first place in the Dragon Tournament."

"You can't beat me..."

"It wouldn't be hard to defeat you if I wanted to."

"But my master said that you can't beat me." "Your master lied to you. I can beat you if I want to, and I will definitely beat you."

"You are too weak."

Lin'er snorted.

"I'm not weak at all."

There was no longer only calmness in Chang Yufeng's eyes, but also unnecessary anger.

"There's no way you can beat me."

There was no longer only calmness in Lin'er's eyes, but also a very unnecessary entanglement.

"Okay, let's forget about the children's quarrel."

Loken was smug, he had shown less patience with the two young children than one would expect.

He didn't care about the lives of these two people, nor did he care about the lives of those people who were used as bargaining chips.

Even if they died, they would die. In fact, even if the Longxing Society failed to enter Fulan this time, it would only kill a dozen unwanted girls. He would not lose anything by putting them in the Red Flower District...

He was just enjoying this crazy logic of holding others hostage and making them pay the price, and he didn't care about his own death.

Because his life has long been worth hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of lives...

He has already dragged many people down with him, so his death does not deserve a pity.

The law does not restrict him, or the restrictions are not enough, so he cannot do whatever he wants, but he enjoys it.

It allows more girls who have been trafficked by their parents to be trapped in the shackles of pornography, which also shows the charm of Honghua District.

The charm lies in allowing more men who enjoy the thrill of gambling in the Green Flower District and whose families are broken up to suffer a pain worse than death.

Let more young people addicted to psychotropic drugs end their colorful, even useless lives with their own hands, and completely collapse, which is nothing more than a yellow flower district...

Oh...the yellow flower area is banned by law...that's too bad...

But he has already taken enough lives...

They allowed themselves to degenerate. They begged the Longxing Society to give them psychotropic drugs. They went to Honghua District to pick up women...

In fact, everyone is wrong...

Locke had no goal or plan to expand the Dragon Rising Society to Fran...

He may have known that he was going to die soon, but he was not afraid.

Because he knew that he had already completed his life blueprint of one life for another.

He, Loken, carries thousands and tens of thousands of lives on his shoulders.

This was not his final destination. Perhaps the most regrettable thing in the world was that he did not remember what happened in his hands... the one who died in his hands...

He didn't need to march into Fran at all... It was like a person who had nothing to do after eating, and he planned and premeditatedly organized a showdown between people he knew.

He knew the identities of these two people better than the three people here, so he knew what they were talking about.
This is not important to him, nor does he care.

"The outcome will eventually come out. Before that day comes, you might as well come and have a fight first..." Locke toasted to the representatives of the three major families, and the three of them drank a glass calmly.

They didn't need to curry favor with Locke, nor did they need to respect Locke too much, that is, they didn't need to give Locke too much face. They drank calmly and drank it all in one gulp.

Locke then took Lin'er away.

Chang Yufeng then raised his head. He was a little dazed, thinking back to the time when he was led by Tan Mingqiu to Bailing Mountain with representatives of all the big and small families who wanted to meet the next Lord of Bailing...

Toasting one by one, thanking one by one, bowing one by one, and even introducing oneself over and over again.

This is a common problem in all upper classes, except that he is a pawn, and Lin'er is also a pawn. They have no real wealth, no real talent, and no real backing that they can rely on.

They are just pawns.

He also thought so.

In other stories, every big devil or villain needs to send some funny characters to help the protagonist upgrade, or send some powerful enemies that can allow the protagonist to obtain treasures and move forward.

In all the stories about the way of kingship, it seems that to become a king, one must step over the corpses of all the bad guys, or the corpses of the evil guys piled up like a mountain.

But, in fact, the world has already told you that many of the biggest enemies actually come from within, from the betrayal of good friends, from the obstruction of parents, from the injustice of the legal system, from the constraints of traditional morality, and from many more, ordinary malice.

They don’t think about what kind of person you are, what kind of person you want to be, or what kind of person you can become…

They just want to see what kind of person you will become, and they will predict you in that direction.

He is the son of Ning Ji, Lord of Bai Ling, and the next Lord of Bai Ling. He will be glorious and he will marry the wife who has been destined and written in the family tree. How will he live his life?
Should we live our lives according to the routine? Is such a life meaningful? Of course, some people think it is meaningful, but most of the time, it is meaningless...

Those who lack money will think of the wealth of Bailing Mountain, those who lack power will think of the military power of Bailing Mountain, and those who lack a wife will think of the women of Bailing Mountain. Perhaps they will also think about what makes them want these things.
Because they really need it and really want it...

If there are no moral issues, then it is natural that what is left by parents belongs to their sons and daughters, and the law also stipulates this as a matter of course, so there is nothing to worry about.

The classes defined by money are defined layer by layer by the amount of wealth. Fortunately, the power structure in this world is no longer hereditary, so those who have no "parental wealth" still have a glimmer of hope.

But when it comes to resources and education, who can be truly selfless?
It is said that those who are just will live forever...but how many people in history have really been just?
His son was a stone merchant, so he promulgated an act on stone transportation. His daughter was a road manager, so he promulgated road management regulations. His grandson was a sculptor, so he stipulated that the status of a sculptor was higher than that of an oil painter.

Do you want to stay in this world?
Can the sun really bring light to everyone? There are always people who stand under the sun and oppose it...

If generation after generation, one great man after another appeared in the world but could not solve this problem, why could Chang Yufeng solve it?

Chang Yufeng is just... a child.

He also understands this
So, he will always be a child.

So far.
